Unfortunately after a tough run since our review started the Each Way Expert has decided to call it a day and pack in their service.
It’s a shame as it’s only been running since last September and they were still up overall, plus there was plenty of time to turn things around, but of course it’s their decision if they feel they that tipping isn’t for them any more.
So this one gets added to the FAILED/DEFUNCT pile and it’s onto the next review for us.
At Betfair SP it’s a similar picture, with 35 points lost so far.
This is quite an unusual service in that it tips each-way on all selections, even if they are around evens. At that sort of price we would question whether it would be better to just back them on the nose, but that’s the strategy they’ve adopted so let’s see how it works out over the remainder of the trial.
Today we are starting a trial of a new horse racing tipster that focuses on backing horses each-way in UK and Irish racing.
The tipster in question is called the Each Way Expertand it should not be confused with the other each-way specialist from the same Betting Gods platform, the very successful Each Way Leader.
Both have established strong records in their own right, but the tipster we are reviewing today is rather newer to the scene, having been tipping since only September last year.
In that time however they have amassed just shy of 100 points profit, which is no mean feat and equates to approximately £140 profit per month to just £10 stakes.
That has been achieved with a solid strike rate of 35% and a commendable return on investment of 14%, with the advised bank having pretty much doubled since they started.
One of the things we like about the service is that all tips are one point each-way stakes, so nice and easy to follow and no fancy staking system to try and inflate results.
There are around 40-50 tips per month so the workload looks fairly manageable too.
As is customary for Betting Gods tipsters, there is a 7 day trial for £1 available so you can try the service out first before moving on to a longer subscription.
All in all then it looks like a decent service and could well be a good compliment to its stablemate the Each Way Leader.
As we always say though time will tell how well things go so let’s wait and see.
We intend to run a standard a three month review although may extend if it looks worth doing so. Results will be posted here periodically during the trial.

Phoenix Racing is a horse racing tipster that takes an interesting approach to betting. They concentrate on following horses that are “looked after” in races – or in other words given a deliberately poor ride – to save for another day, then back them on the day that counts. So they are focused on finding those value winners that the market and most punters normally overlook.
It is an approach we really like as it seems like there is a lot of this dodgy kind of activity going on in horse racing. If not outright cheating, then it is certainly questionable and something of a grey area within the sport. And of course it is the average punter who is blissfully unaware of such practices, whilst those in the know use the information to line their own pockets.
So a horse racing service that notices this kind of thing and attempts to profit from it could be very valuable.
That’s the theory anyway, but would it work out in practice under the spotlight of a live trial?
Well things started out fantastically as they went over 90 points up early on in our trial and smashed in a number of high-priced winners.
Unfortunately though things somewhat petered out from then on, with the trial finishing 35 points up at advised prices at the end of six months.
You can see that visually in the profit graph for the trial below:
That’s still a good result and a nice profit to have made, but it just feels a little less because of the heights they hit early on.
At Betfair SP they finished 20 points down, although as mentioned previously that does include a horse that was first past the post but subsequently penalised, so won at the bookies but not at Betfair. That actually made a 21 point difference so the BSP results would have finished 1 point up otherwise.
All in all then we think is worth a narrow PASSED rating as it did make a decent profit, although in the end didn’t quite set the world on fire.
Certainly though we like the approach and will be keeping an eye on the service to see if they can replicate the kind of results achieved early in our trial.
Service Breakdown
Ease of use: The tips are normally sent out the evening before racing with some commentary on the day’s performers and tomorrow’s prospects. With an average of 3 bets per day there is a little bit of work involved in following the service, but not too much by any means.
Availability of prices: You do need to try and take the prices the evening the tips are sent out as they tend to drop quite a bit by the off.
Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial was 10%, so this is clearly a service for the patient gambler as there will be some losing streaks and drawdowns along the way, but at the same time some very nice-priced winners.
Advised Betting Bank: A 150 point bank is recommended for following the service which we think is about right given the staking and strike rate.
Subscription costs: The subscription costs are pretty reasonable at £1 for the first 7 days then £39 per month or £399 per year.
OVERALL VERDICT: PASSED
We really like the approach of Phoenix Racing, which is to try and identify those horses who are being deliberately given an easy ride or raced in unsuitable conditions in order to push their odds up for another race they are being targeted at.
The approach appeared to be working wonders early on in our trial as they went close to 100 points up at one stage, but in the end they finished 35 points up at advised prices.
That’s still pretty decent and worthy of a PASSED rating, but we had kind of been hoping for more.
In any event we think the service has enough promise to continue monitoring so let’s see how they get on over the next few months.
At Betfair SP the picture is a little worse, with 30 points lost since our last update, leaving them 17 points down for our trial overall.
This kind of run is always possible when you are tipping at average odds of 15/1, but will have been tough to take for those who joined the service recently and don’t have the previous gains banked to help withstand the losing run.
All we can hope for is they get things back on track and start banging in some winners again!
At Betfair SP they lost 12 points since our last update and are 13 points up for our trial overall (although as mentioned previously that does include a horse that was first past the post but subsequently penalised, so won at the bookies but not at Betfair).
The service is still offered through bothBetting Gods and Sportsworld Publishing, although they now both offer a monthly subscription option, with Betting Gods offering a 7 day trial for £1.
At Betfair SP they have lost 8 points since our last update and are 25 points up for our trial overall (although as mentioned previously that does include a horse that was first past the post but subsequently penalised, so won at the bookies but lost at Betfair).
The service is still offered through bothBetting Gods and Sportsworld Publishing, although they now both offer a monthly subscription option, with Betting Gods offering a 7 day trial for £1.
At Betfair SP they have lost 25 points since our last update and are 33 points up for out trial overall (although as mentioned last time that does include a horse that was first past the post but subsequently penalised, so won at the bookies but lost at Betfair).
The service is still offered through bothBetting Gods and Sportsworld Publishing, although they now both offer a monthly subscription option, with Betting Gods offering a 7 day trial for £1.
Wow! What a run it’s been for Phoenix Racing since our last update just over a month ago. They have made a superb 92 points profit to advised prices in that time, smashing in big-priced winners left, right and centre!
That means they are now 84 points up at advised prices for our trial overall.
At Betfair SP they made 81 points profit since our last update and are 58 points up for our trial overall.
However, that doesn’t quite tell the whole story, as one of the horses – Singe Du Nord at Southwell – initially won its race but was subsequently relegated to second place. Most bookies would pay out on the first past the post (which we understand they did in this instance) meaning the bet was a winner, however Betfair do not normally do so, meaning those who bet at BSP would have lost (if that was not the case and Betfair did pay you out, please let us know below).
So without that anomaly that lowers the BSP results, there would actually be very little difference between the results at advised prices and BSP – only 6 points in fact – which is good because we had been concerned about how well the BSP results would hold up.
It is exactly the same service with all the same tips, just with slightly different subscription options, with Betting Gods offering a quarterly subscription (with the first 10 days for £1) and Sportsworld a monthly one. We have included both links above so you can choose for yourself the option that suits you better if you would like to subscribe.
At Betfair SP it’s been somewhat worse, with a loss of 23 points so far.
That perhaps isn’t too surprising, because what the service focuses on are horses who are “looked after” – or in other words entered in unsuitable conditions and given an easy ride in order to get their handicap mark down and their odds up for when they are entered in races with the right conditions.
So a lot of the selections get backed in considerably from the time the selections are sent out the evening before racing, indicating connections are backing them and a gamble is on.
It’s an interesting approach and we could see it working quite well – certainly past results suggest that. Unfortunately though so far in our trial it hasn’t quite happened for them yet, but it’s still early days so plenty of time to turns things around.
Today we are starting a new trial of a horse racing tipster called Phoenix Racing.
This one was actually recommended to us by one of our members, so thanks to them for bringing it to our attention.
It comes out of the popular Sportsworld Publishing site, which offers a number of tipsters and betting systems and has been around for quite a few years.
We took a look at Phoenix Racing after receiving the recommendation and the results looked extremely impressive, with over 160 points profit made since starting tipping in just March of this year.
The return on investment has been an amazing 40%+, which is quite outstanding to have sustained for a period of seven months or so.
Staking is generally to one point win bets with the occasional one point each way, so very reasonable and there are around three bets per day, so a manageable workload.
The service tends to concentrate on plotting horses that are “looked after” in races to save for another day, then try to drop on them on the day that counts, so is focused on finding those value winners that the market and most punters normally overlook.
It has seemed to work very well for them so far but it will be interesting to see if that continues during our trial.
We started receiving tips on 23rd October so will record results from then. Please check back here for updates on how the trial gets on.
https://www.honestbettingreviews.com/wp-content/uploads/hbr-logo-new-300x145.png00Danhttps://www.honestbettingreviews.com/wp-content/uploads/hbr-logo-new-300x145.pngDan2019-05-07 10:07:552019-12-11 12:52:57Phoenix Racing – Final Review
LMR Racing is a horse racing tipster service that started out under the Betinfo24 banner but then moved over to Tipster Street during the course of our review.
At the outset of our trial they had one of the most impressive records we had ever seen, with over 400 points profit made in 18 months at an ROI of over 40%.
As so often proves the case however, those kinds of results were not repeated under the spotlight of a live trial and in the end they finished just 15 points up after an extended six month review period.
A profit is still a profit and so it should not be sniffed at, but given the kind of results published prior to our review, we had rather been hoping for something more.
Once subscription costs are taken into account you would have pretty much broken even betting at £10 per point and with bank growth of only 15% in six months, we feel like a NEUTRAL rating is probably the fairest judgement here.
Service Breakdown
Ease of use: Good – tips are normally sent out the morning of racing at around 9am UK time. With an average of just 1 bet per day there isn’t much work involved in following the service however.
Availability of prices: We didn’t see any issue with obtaining the advised prices and there wasn’t a great deal of difference between the results at advised prices and Betfair SP.
Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial was 27%, which is pretty decent and there were no significant drawdowns during the trial.
Advised Betting Bank: As 100 point bank was recommended for following the service which we think is more than reasonable given the staking and strike rate.
Subscription costs: The subscription costs are pretty reasonable at £9.99 for the first 30 days then £19.95/month.
OVERALL VERDICT: NEUTRAL
Finishing with a profit is always welcome and LMR Racing finished our six month trial with a profit of 15 points, which is pretty decent.
However, taking into account subscription costs and the length of time of the trial, it wasn’t quite enough to warrant a recommended rating at the moment.
It’s a service we’ll keep an eye on though to see if they can find the kind of form shown prior to our trial.
Not much change at Betfair SP either, with a loss of just 1 point since our last update and 9 points lost for our trial overall.
We are waiting for this service to catch fire, has just been treading water for the majority of our trial to date. Let’s see if that has happened by the time of our next update.
At Betfair SP things have been going slightly the other way, with 3 points lost since our last update and 8 points lost for our trial overall.
The good news is they say their plans are now finalised for the upcoming turf Flat Season which begins at the end of the month..March, April and May are normally good months for them and with strong info lined up before then they believe there are exciting times ahead. Let’s hope so!
A quiet time lately for LMR Racing both in terms of the number of advised bets and the results. Since our last update they have lost 6 points at advised prices.
That means they are now just 2 points up for our trial overall at advised prices.
At Betfair SP they have also lost 6 points since our last update but are now 5 points down for our trial overall.
With the break for the Equine Flu outbreak understandably there hasn’t been much betting action lately but things should be ramping up over the next few weeks.
The results at Betfair SP have also been good but not quite as much profit as at advised prices, with 13 points made since our last update and 9 points overall.
Just a note to say the service has moved home from BetInfo24 over to Tipster Street, who are currently offering the first month of membership for just £9.99 – you can get the deal here.
Today we are taking a look at a new tipster from the BetInfo24 stable called LMR Racing.
We recently commenced a trial of another horse racing service, Racing Exchange, and remarked that the results looked almost too good to be true.
Well we could say the same here, in that the results really do like quite amazing.
With over 440 points profit since January 2017 at an incredible ROI of over 40%, these are some of the best results we have seen for some time.
That would be over £44,000 profit to £100 stakes or £11,000 to £25 stakes in less than two years of betting.
Much as with Racing Exchange though, we feel that these whilst results are pretty awesome, they are just about the right side of being possible and therefore we are willing to give this one a trial.
There are around 30-40 bets per month and the strike rate has been 37% so far, which is pretty decent.
There isn’t much info about the selection process or who the people behind LMR Racing are, but fair enough if they want to keep themselves and their method private.
Anyway, we will kick off our review and will aim to run our standard three month trial for this one. We have been receiving selections since 19th October so will record results from then.
You can check out LMR Racing here.

Well you may have seen this one coming but unfortunately yet another tipster has decided to call it quits before our trial has even finished.
Yes last week we received an e-mail from Carlo saying it seems difficult to consistently make money with the BSP Tipster so was calling it a day.
We had said this would be the “holy grail” of tipping if it had worked so a shame to see it giving up so soon after only being around 15 points down but there you are.
So another service for the FAILED/DEFUNCT pile – which seems to be growing exponentially at the moment!
The new tipster Carlo who has taken over at The BSP Tipster is finding it just as difficult to make a profit at Betfair SP as the previous one unfortunately, with a loss of 11 points so far.
After going 50 points down for our trial, the original tipster with The BSP Tipster (Gaz from the Bookies Enemy) has decided to fall on his sword and call it a day.
However, a new tipster called Carlo who also specialises in betting at Betfair SP has stepped in and is now providing the tips.
As for all intents and purposes this is a new service, we will be starting the trial again from when Carlo started providing the selections, which was on 20th December.
On the results spreadsheet we have separated it into two tabs – “Carlo” and “Gaz” – so you can follow the new results from 20th December on the first tab (Carlo). The previous results from Gaz are also there for reference purposes on the second tab.
So let’s see how the new tipster gets on. Making a profit at BSP is a challenge but it would be something of a holy grail if it could be done so let’s keep our fingers crossed.
The nice thing about this service is that obviously all bets are at BSP so you know you can match the published results and it’s very quick to place the bets.
It was always going to be a tough ask to make a profit at BSP but it’s still relatively early days with this one and plenty of time to turn things around.
It’s been a good start to our trial of the BSP Tipster– the horse racing tipster who tips at Betfair SP so you know you can match their results. It is from the same tipster behind the very successful Bookies Enemy service.
So far after just under a month of following the tips we are 11 points up.
Tips are normally sent out around lunchtime the day of racing so with a couple of hours or more to get the bets on. But using BSP it takes very little time to place the bets which is good.
Anyway, good to see this off to a positive start and let’s hope it continues.
It’s the age-old problem. You sign up to a tipster, do well for a while and all is rosy.
Then one of the bookies sends you a curt e-mail telling you that your account has been restricted and you can only place minimal £1 or £2 bets.
So you continue on with other bookies for a while, but eventually most of your accounts go the same way.
Ultimately you decide you need a tipster that is profitable at Betfair SP, so you can rid yourselves of the bookies for good and just go about your business on the exchanges.
Well if that scenario sounds like one you have encountered, then today we may have the answer for you.
Yes, today we are going to start a trial of a tipster devoted to making a profit specifically at Betfair SP.
The tipster in question is called – quite aptly – The BSP Tipster (BSP being short for Betfair SP of course).
The beauty of BSP is that you can be sure everyone will achieve the same results as those published by the tipster.
Plus it is quicker to place your bets as you don’t have to go around searching for the best prices, log in to various bookie websites and deposit funds into each one etc.
Anyway, whilst we can go on and on extolling the virtues of betting at Betfair SP, the question still remains as to how good the tipster actually is.
That is of course what we are here to find out, but the results achieved to date look very promising in any event.
They have made over 60 points profit since May 2018 at a return on investment of 17% and and 28% strike rate, which are encouraging stats to have achieved all at BSP.
The service comes from the same man behind The Bookies Enemy, one of the best services we have reviewed this year. with a profit of over £4,500 made to just £10 stakes since starting up, so it looks like we are in good hands with this one.
Of course, you’re under no obligation to use these bets to Betfair SP and you can place the bets with any bookmaker you wish – perhaps BetVictor as they now guarantee to accept all bets to win £500.
But there has been huge demand for a service to provide tips and record results at Betfair SP, and this is it.
Plus the good news is that for the rest of September they’re running a Special Offer of 3 months for £29, whereas normally it’s £79 per 3 months.
Just click on the banner at the top of the tipster page that has a countdown until the end of September.
Anyway, without further ado we will get the trial underway and will aim to run our standard three month trial of this one.
We will report back here on how things are going during the trial.
We remarked the other day about sounding like a broken record regarding services closing down before we had even finished our review of them. Well today we sound even more like a broken record!
Yes unfortunately we received an e-mail last Thursday from MK saying that he had decided to fall on his sword and close down the service as things had clearly gone wrong.
Well to be fair things hadn’t gone that wrong as he was still 20 points up since July – many tipsters lose hundreds of points before considering closing their service.
But sadly in the tipping world sometimes treading water is as bad as losing from the point of view of maintaining subscribers, so it is understandable if MK decided it wasn’t worth continuing.
Either way it’s another service on the scrapheap unfortunately and we are getting to the point where we will be glad just to complete a review at the moment!
Interestingly they are doing better at Betfair SP than at advised prices so far, with a profit of 22 points made at BSP.
You don’t see that very often so will be interesting to find out whether it persists for the remainder of our trial. A good start though anyway and let’s hope it continues.
Today we are starting a trial of a horse racing tipster with a bit of a twist.
This tipster bets not just on singles on the horses but also does doubles, trebles and 4-folds.
They are called MK Horse Racing Tips and come from the Betting Gods network of tipsters.
Results so far look pretty decent, with over 57 points profit made to a return on investment of 22% and a strike rate of 26% since starting tipping back in July.
That equates to over £114 per month profit on average to £10 stakes and bank growth of over 75%.
So it looks like a promising service, plus it has the added bonus of potentially winning big if one of their multiples comes in!
Hopefully it will still be profitable just on the basis of the single bets but we will see.
We will run our normal three month trial and will report back soon on how things are going.
https://www.honestbettingreviews.com/wp-content/uploads/hbr-logo-new-300x145.png00Danhttps://www.honestbettingreviews.com/wp-content/uploads/hbr-logo-new-300x145.pngDan2019-01-30 12:14:202023-08-07 18:11:11MK Horse Racing Tips – Final Review
At the start of this trial we were excited that we may have found the “holy grail” of horse racing services – something that was consistently profitable at Betfair SP.
Certainly the results published prior to our trial suggested that was the case, with over 3,000 points profit made to BSP according to the Tipster Street website.
Sadly though our trial of Racing Exchange ended up dashing those hopes, with a loss of 122 points made over the course of our three month review.
With a return on investment of -10% and a loss of nearly a quarter of the bank (or half of the original bank advised), it is rather stating the obvious to say this was a very tough trial.
As you can see below, it went into loss straight away and never recovered, despite a small rally towards the end.
So there isn’t much to say other than this receives a FAILED rating and our elusive search for a tipster who can consistently generate a profit at Betfair SP continues.
Service Breakdown
Ease of use: A high-volume service with around 13 bets per day on average, although the good news is you can place all the bets at Betfair SP which means a lot less time spent than placing the bets at the bookies. Bets are normally sent out in the morning at around 9-10am UK time.
Availability of prices: No issue on this one as all bets can be placed at Betfair SP.
Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial was 20%, which is a little on the low side and would mean a degree of patience is required for following this service.
Advised Betting Bank: A 500 point betting bank is now advised for following the service, which has increased from the 250 point bank that was advised when we started our review. Given the results we think that is a sensible move.
Subscription costs: The subscription costs are £9.99 for the first month then £19.95 per month after that.
OVERALL VERDICT: FAILED
Unfortunately it was a very tough trial for Racing Exchange with a loss of 122 points made. With results like those it is perhaps no surprise that this receives a FAILED rating from us.
It will need something pretty spectacular to turn this around given the losses accrued to date.
It’s another example though of why it’s a good idea to wait and see how something performs under a live trial before risking your own money on it. Certainly it would have been pretty painful if you had risked your own money on this so far.
One thing we can say is that at least they advise a reasonably-sized bank at 250 points, so the bank has not been wiped out yet.
Certainly though this is a lot worse than we were expecting, with their previous worst month prior to our trial losing just 12 points.
We had high hopes for this one with supposed profits of 3,000 points coming into our trial, but sadly so far it is not living up to those expectations.
Many people would have given up by now (and understandably so) but we will continue our trial for the full three months – or until the bank is wiped out if that ends up happening.
One of the perks of running a review site like this is that we get contacted about all manner of interesting and innovative new betting systems and strategies.
A lot of the time these come with lots of hype but turn out to be a load of rubbish, whilst some are so obviously scams they aren’t even worth taking seriously.
But occasionally something lands in our inbox that looks truly exciting.
And we have just received one such e-mail this week.
It concerns a new betting service called Racing Exchange that boasts what are some of the best results we have ever seen.
Since early last year they have made a phenomenal 3,000 points profit to 1 point level stakes. That would be an amazing £30,000 profit to £10 stakes or £15,000 to just £5 stakes.
That has been achieved with a solid strike rate of 22% and an almost unheard of ROI of 68%.
On a monthly basis that would work out at an average of over £1,400 per month profit to just £10 stakes, which is an outstanding return.
Not only that, but the results are all at Betfair SP! Yes that’s right, you don’t even need bookie accounts to follow the service.
Really the results are quite amazing and they are on the borderline of being too good to be true to be honest. However, the service is run out of the Tipster Street stable of tipsters who say they have proofed the results since early last year. We know the Tipster Street team and have always found them to be honest so we don’t doubt the published results and what they say.
Of course we don’t just take their word for it though – that is why we are here, to test these systems out and see if they live up to expectations.
So we will run a live trial of Racing Exchange and see if they can replicate the phenomenal results published on the website for the last 20 months or so.
Looking at the results, it is interesting that they have an incredible record backing horses over 100/1, with over 1500 of their points coming from those, including one at over 800/1!
Those at smaller prices are also profitable though, so it is not just a question of them having picked a few lucky long-shots.
In any event, this does look very promising so we can’t wait to see how they get on under live conditions. So please check back here for regular results update on how the trial is going if you are also interested in finding out.
In the meantime you can check out Racing Exchange for yourself here.

Overpriced Horse Tipsis a horse racing tipster from the Sports Betting Stars platform, with selections to be backed to win at one-point level stakes in UK and Irish races.
At first we were rather confused by the title of this tipster – we thought initially it referred to the tips being overpriced (or too expensive) but of course it refers to horses whose odds are higher than they should be.
That appeared to be an appropriate name given the results reported on their website coming into our trial, with over 750 points profit made at a return on investment of over 25%. Clearly they have shown an ability to identify value horses to back.
And our trial started off very well, going over 30 points up at advised prices early on.
Sadly though from mid-October onwards they hit something of a tough spell, finishing 23 points down at advised prices for the trial.
Here are the results for the trial in graph format:
As we say, whilst things started off well, there was a pretty steady decline from around the mid-point onward.
However, as we noted with another review we just completed, there was a big discrepancy between the results at advised prices and those at Betfair SP, with the latter making a profit of 23 points.
So whilst the results at advised prices are somewhat disappointing, with Betfair SP making a profit and more and more people using BSP for their horse racing bets these days, we feel like a NEUTRAL rating is fair in this instance.
Either way the results weren’t too dramatic so it’s one to watch for the time being in any event.
Service Breakdown
Ease of use: A pretty simple service to follow with an average of around one bet per day, normally sent out in the evening for the next day’s racing.
Availability of prices: There was not much of a problem in getting the advised prices and as discussed above, the Betfair SP results actually beat advised prices.
Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial was 11%, which is a little on the low side and would mean a degree of patience is required for following this service.
Advised Betting Bank: A 75 point betting bank is advised for following the service, which we think could be a little on the low side given that there was a 60-point drawdown from mid-September to the end of our trial. We think at least a 100 point bank should be advised for following the service.
Subscription costs: The subscription costs are free for the first 14 days then £29.99/month, £79.99/quarter or £299.99/year.
OVERALL VERDICT: NEUTRAL
It was a slightly disappointing trial for Overpriced Horse Tips as we had been expecting something special from them based on past results. With a loss of 23 points to advised prices over the course of our six-month trial, it didn’t really live up to expectations.
However, a 23 point profit was made at Betfair SP for our trial which is encouraging so overall we feel this warrants a NEUTRAL rating and it’s a watching brief for now.
It’s been an interesting start to our trial of Overpriced Horse Tips. On the one hand, results at advised prices have been reasonable, with a profit of 4 points made so far.
However, the unusual thing here is that the Betfair SP results are actually considerable better, with a massive 58 points profit made so far.
The difference between the two is down in large part to one horse, Super Kid at Wolves, which was advised at 20/1 but won at a huge Betfair SP of 75!
That is probably something of an anomaly and it is unlikely you will see such a massive difference between the advised price and BSP very often. However, if you’d had Best Odds Guaranteed available to you then you would have got the 40/1 official SP, which is still a significant improvement over the advised 20/1.
Also a note that although we launched this review on 23rd September, we were actually started receiving the tips privately on 27th June so have recorded results from then on.
Anyway, it will be interesting to see how this one progresses and whether we continue to see such a strong performance at BSP going forward.
You could be forgiven for being a little confused over the name of the service we are starting a trial of today – and that is Overpriced Horse Tips.
At first we though they were suggesting the service is overpriced, which would be a little strange to suggest that they are overcharging people for their service. Then we realised however they meant that the horses the service picks tend to be overpriced – or higher odds than they should be. That makes a little more sense!
Little matter about our confusion though, what counts is how good the service is at making profit and by the looks of things, they are very, very good at that.
The service has been running since 2013 and in that time has made over 750 points profit to 1 point stakes, which is superb stuff and the kind of results that very few services have ever achieved.
The return on investment in that time has been over 26%, which is an exceptional level to have maintained over such a long period.
There are around 40 tips per month, which works out at just over one per day, so a pretty simple service to follow.
With average odds of 7/1 this is all about identifying value at decent odds rather than picking obvious favourites, as is the case with most successful horse racing tipsters we have come across over the years.
We have actually been following this privately for the last couple of months so can verify the results published on the website for that period are accurate.
We are genuinely excited about trialling this service as it has one of the best long-term records we have seen and could join those rare few top-level tipsters that consistently beat the bookies and deliver bumper profits for their members.
So without further ado we will get things underway and will report back here soon on how things are going.
Revolution Racing is a horse racing tipster from The Better Punter stable which is based down in Australia.
The Revolution Racing service provides tips in UK and Irish racing and is one of the premier tipsters on the platform.
This was a slightly difficult review to give a final verdict on as although the advised price results finished pretty much break even – with just one point profit in the end – the Betfair SP results finished with a profit of 68 points.
That is very unusual and whilst we always base our official results on the advised prices, it made us consider awarding this a passed rating.
Here are the results at BSP in graph form:
As you can see, after a difficult start it made nice progress moving well into profit by the end.
However, we have slight reservations in awarding this a passed rating as we don’t know whether the improved BSP results would be maintained in the long run and a large part of the difference between the two sets of results was from one winner, which made up 30 points difference.
The other thing to bear in mind is that with an average stake of 3 points per bet, the 68 points profit would equate to around 23 points profit at one point level stakes.
So all in all we feel like a NEUTRAL rating is fair in this instance, but with a proviso that if the strong BSP could be maintained in the long run this could be worth an upgrade to a passed rating.
Service Breakdown
Ease of use: A pretty easy service to follow with just one or two bets per day, usually sent in the morning of racing at around 10-11am.
Availability of prices: We didn’t experience any problems getting the advised prices and as discussed above, the Betfair SP results for our trial were actually better than the advised prices.
Strike rate: The strike rate during the trial was 35% (including placed horses), which is pretty decent for a horse racing service and meant a fairly steady flow of returns.
Advised Betting Bank: Although a bank wasn’t advised for following the service, we think a 300 point bank would be appropriate given the average stake of 3 points per bet.
Subscription costs: The service works on a pay-as-you-profit model and is quite complicated but in essence you end up paying a proportion of your winnings to The Better Punter as you go along.
OVERALL VERDICT: NEUTRAL
Our trial of Revolution Racing was quite an unusual one in that it produced better results at Betfair SP than it did at advised prices.
As we base our reviews on results achieved at advised prices, this would normally be a fairly straightforward NEUTRAL rating, as it finished with just one point profit at the end of our three month trial.
However, we feel it would be remiss not to recognise the 68 points profit made at Betfair SP, which is a decent return.
Whether that was just an anomaly though or can be maintained in the long run remains to be seen, but if it can this could well be worthy of an upgrade. Certainly a service that is profitable at BSP is a much sought-after commodity so it is worth keeping an eye on.
It’s been an impressive turnaround for Revolution Racing since our last update a month ago.
Back then they were 33 points down for our trial at advised prices, but with a haul of 57 points profit over the last month they are now 24 points up for the trial overall at advised prices.
What is even more notable however is that the results at Betfair SP are actually beating those at advised prices, with 78 points profit made since our last update and 57 points profit made for the trial overall.
Good to see the recent turnaround and let’s hope it continues for them.
It’s not been a great start to our trial of Revolution Racing unfortunately, with a loss of 34 points made so far to advised prices after one month of following the tips.
It’s not quite as bad however at Betfair SP, with a loss of 21 points made for our trial to date.
The one bright spot is that there has been an improvement over the last week or so, with over 25 points profit made, so hopefully that is the sign of a recovery.
We will find out if that proves to be the case when we provide our next update on the service.
Today we are starting a new trial of a horse racing tipster from a tipster stable out of Australia called the Better Punter.
Whilst the tipster platform is Australian, the tipster in question actually concentrates on UK and Irish racing and they are called Revolution Racing.
The results published on their website look very encouraging, with over $32,000 profit made to $100 unit stakes.
That has been achieved with a healthy strike rate of 36% and a very respectable return on investment of 17%.
The profit graph looks highly impressive too, with nice solid movement upwards pretty much throughout:
Tips are provided by a chap called Stephen who uses a detailed ratings system along with a cleverly devised staking method to guide his selections.
The idea is to combine value, a solid strike rate & ROI with a discipline staking system and you have a well oiled machine that can put bookies to the wall year in year out.
That’s the theory anyway, but will it hold up under scrutiny?
Well that is what we are here to find out, so we will be undertaking a three month trial to see if they can deliver.
They have an interesting payment method for the tips, which are “pay as you win” rather than a monthly fee. So you only pay if you profit. Commission is 30% of your profit per week, that is all. If you don’t win, you don’t pay.
That sounds fair enough to us and we’re surprised in some ways that other services don’t follow such a model.
Some people prefer the pay as you win model and some prefer the monthly/quarterly subscription, it is down to your own personal choice really.
Anyway, just to note that we actually started receiving the tips on 22nd September so will record results from then onward.
You can check back here regularly for updates on how things are going.
In the meantime you can check out Revolution Racing here.

The Strict Rule System is a tipster from the respected Tipstrr platform of betting systems and tipsters.
The name is suggestive of a systems-based approach but this is in fact more of a straightforward tipping service. The idea of “strict rules” is more that they will only back a horse if it meets the strict rules they set to qualify for a bet, but that comes after form study which is the bedrock of the approach. So the rules keep them disciplined and sticking to clear criteria.
The results during our three month trial were very good, with a profit of 161 points made to advised prices.
The Betfair SP results ended up pretty close to the advised prices, with a profit of 147 points made.
It should be noted that the average stake during our trial was 7 points per bet, meaning that to 1 point stakes the profit would have been approximately 23 points profit.
That is still pretty decent however and came at a very respectable return on investment of 21% and strike rate of 32% (including placed horses).
Below you can see the results for the trial in graph format:
As you can see, although there were a few ups and downs it made a solid profit overall.
It’s a pretty simple service to follow, with an average of just one bet per day – although as with most horse racing services that tends to mean more on weekends and less earlier in the week.
Overall then we are pleased to award The Strict Rule System a PASSED rating after a successful three month trial.
Service Breakdown
Ease of use: A pretty simple service to follow with an average of around one bet per day, normally sent out late at night for the next day’s racing.
Availability of prices: There was not much of a problem in getting the advised prices and the Betfair SP results ended up pretty similar to the advised price results, with just 14 points difference between them.
Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial was 32% (including placed horses), which is a pretty good level to have maintained.
Advised Betting Bank: A 500 point betting bank is advised for following the service, which we think could be a little on the low side given that there has been a month with a loss of 165 points in the past. With staking at 7 points per bet on average, we would think a 700 point bank would be more suitable here.
Subscription costs: The subscription costs are€25/week, €47/month or €109/quarter.
OVERALL VERDICT: PASSED
With a solid profit of 161 points made during our trial at a return on investment of over 20%, The Strict Rule System has proved its mettle and earned a PASSED rating from us.
It’s a nice simple service to follow and with a good strike rate of over 30%, there is a good deal to like about the service.
This is one we will be keeping an eye on for the long run to see if it can maintain a strong body of results.
The results at Betfair SP having been holding up well against the advised prices, with 53 points profit made since our last update and 137 points profit made overall.
Just another reminder that the staking here is quite high with an average of 7 points per bet, meaning that they would be approximately 21 points up at one point level stakes. But that is still very good and has been achieved very steadily over our trial.
Horse racing tipster The Strict Rule System has been on good form since our last update just over a month ago, with 76 points profit made at advised prices in that time.
That means they are now 77 points up at advised prices for our trial overall.
At Betfair SP they are actually doing slightly better, with 96 points profit made since our last update and 84 points profit made for the trial overall.
As we mentioned last time, the staking is between 4 and 10 points per bet, with the average being 7 points, so that is worth bearing in mind when looking at the results.
Still, good stuff from them and let’s hope for more of the same going forward.
It’s been an up and down start to our trial of horse racing service The Strict Rule System, which went into big profit early on but has since fallen back to be just 1 point up so far at advised prices.
At Betfair SP it is actually in deficit for our trial, with 12 points lost so far.
The staking system utilises staking between 6 and 10 points placed on each selection, so that is worth bearing in mind when looking at the results (please note this update previously had Tipstrr’s staking which is unit based on £/€/$ etc so that was not the staking system used by the service itself, which as we say is 6-10 points).
Most of the bets come in Irish racing which is unusual but nice to have a bit of variety as most of the services we follow concentrate on UK racing.
So things pretty much even here so far but early days and plenty of time to get moving in the right direction again.
Today we are going to take a look at a new tipster from the reputable Tipstrr platform and this one is called theStrict Rule System.
It is a horse racing service and although we don’t get details of what the rules behind the system actually are, apparently it is run by a guy called Edward, whose trialled and tested horse racing system has become a staple of the Tipstrr platform.
Edward likes to prioritise helping members improve their level of knowledge with regards to horse racing and giving them all the tools they need to win.
The system appears to work very well, with close to 1800 points profit made since the service started around a year ago.
That has been made with a return on investment of over 17% which is pretty decent and the strike rate is over 32%, which is fairly solid.
There is certainly something to be said for strategies that follow clear rules as it takes out the element of human emotion and bias that can affect the objectivity of some gamblers.
Whether it ends up making profit under live trial conditions remains to be seen but we will find out soon enough.
So we will kick off a standard three month trial and will report back soon on how things are going.

We’ve been saying this quite a lot lately but sadly another service has been discontinued before we have even finished our review of it.
Rod’s US Runners was actually doing well at the time of our last update, with 172 points profit made to that point, but hit a bit of a tough run and it was agreed my mutual consent between Rod and Betting Gods to close both his US Runners service and his main Rod’s Runners service.
So this is another one to add to the FAILED/DEFUNCT pile unfortunately and another reminder of just how rare those really good systems and tipsters are that stick around for the long term.
It just goes to show once again the importance of having patience and a sufficient betting bank to cover the losing streaks. They will happen from time to time even with the best tipsters.
Hopefully the recent form is just a blip and Rod will get back to winning ways shortly.
As with the main Rod’s Runners service, there are a high quantity of bets with this service, so you need to set aside some time each afternoon/evening to place the bets – and have a decent sized bank too.
But from what we’ve seen so far this is looking very impressive and every bit as good as Rod’s main service.
The nice thing about betting on US racing is that it gives you something to focus on after UK racing has finished, with betting going on late into the evening.
And the US Racing market could really open up now that gambling can be legalised in US states, so we could well see more interest and liquidity on the markets and that should be good for those wagering on the geegees stateside.
Whilst the results have been amazing, it should be noted that Rod goes for big priced winners, meaning there are some extended losing streaks to contend with. So you need a big bank and some patience if you are going to follow the service.
If that is you, then this is looking like a top notch service based on what we have seen so far during our trial.
The recent US Supreme Court decision to legalize gambling in the US has opened up a whole new market for punters that has until recently been very restricted.
The decision means that individual states in the US can choose to allow people to legally gamble in their territory and it looks like most states will be doing so.
So the result means that we should see much more betting activity on US horse racing and there should be the kind of liquidity we see on UK and Irish racing in time.
Certainly a number of the big UK bookmakers like William Hill and Ladbrokes are already eyeing up big opportunities in America and staking their ground.
All of this looks like good news for punters and with more coverage and liquidity it is likely we will see more tipsters focusing on US racing, as at the moment there is somewhat of a dearth of top quality on American racing.
One tipster who has staked out an early claim to lead the pack is Rod’s US Runners, from the Betting Gods stable.
If you familiar with Betting Gods then you may have come across Rod before, as he already runs the very successful Rod’s Runners service that has been averaging around £1,000 profit per month to date. Now he has decided to launch this service focusing specifically on US racing.
Having started up in December 2017, Rod has made an impressive 270 points profit, which equates to over £460 profit per month to just £10 stakes.
That has been achieved with a return on investment of over 44%, which is quite exceptional.
The strike rate is a little on the low side at 14% but that is because Rod focuses on picking out longer-odds selections at 10/1 and above.
There are quite a few selections – 4 or 5 per day normally – so you have to be ready to be fairly active with your betting.
The nice thing about a service focusing on US racing is that after your day of UK horse racing betting is over you can then turn to the US to enjoy some more action!
Anyway, this is looking like a very promising service and as we say it would be nice to have a profitable service on US racing as we don’t have any here yet at Honest Betting Reviews.
So we will commence a trial today and report back soon how things are going.
